University of South Carolina Press Hosea Williams: A Lifetime of Defiance and Protest
Book SynopsisWhen civil rights leader Hosea Lorenzo Williams died in 2000, U.S. Congressman John Lewis said of him, "Hosea Williams must be looked upon as one of the founding fathers of the new America. Through his actions, he helped liberate all of us."In this first comprehensive biography of Williams, Rolundus Rice demonstrates the truth in Lewis's words and argues that Williams's activism in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was of central importance to the success of the larger civil rights movement. Rice traces Williams's journey from a local activist in Georgia to a national leader and one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s chief lieutenants. He helped plan the Selma-to-Montgomery march and walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Lewis across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on "Bloody Sunday." While his hard-charging tactics were counter to the diplomatic approach of other SCLC leaders, Rice argues that it was this contrast in styles that made the organization successful.Andrew Young Jr., former SCLC executive director, U.S. Congressman, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and mayor of Atlanta, provides a foreword.

Chicago Review Press Building Atlanta
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Not many people alive in Atlanta today can look back and say they were involved with Dr. King, but Herman can do that. He's been an important person in the history of this city." --Arthur Blank, cofounder, the Home Depot; owner, Atlanta Falcons"Herman has been one of the pillars of the Atlanta community for many years, as a businessperson but also as a caring, concerned citizen. He's made a lasting contribution, not just to Atlanta but to the nation." --John Lewis, U.S. representative, Georgia fifth congressional district"I think that Herman Russell had as much to do with the rise of Atlanta as Ted Turner. Ted did a tremendous job in taking Atlanta all over the world via CNN and Herman did the same with his building empire." --Hank Aaron, Hall-of-Fame baseball player"Mr. Russell is a towering figure in the city of Atlanta, and I can't think of Atlanta without him. His name in telephone's address book is simply 'Great Man.'" --Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed"Herman Russell is one of that group of African Americans in Atlanta, Horatio Alger types, who are proof of the American Dream." --Jane Fonda"Here's a man who, from his humble start working in his father's plastering business, has gone on to reshape the urban landscape of many of America's greatest cities." --Earl Graves, founder and publisher of Black EnterpriseTable of ContentsContentsIntroduction by Former US Ambassador Andrew YoungProloguePART I: Growing, Working, and Learning1.

Morgan James Publishing llc Leading High Performers: The Ultimate Guide to
Book Synopsis Basketball demands a level of leadership that can consistently create teams with both personal responsibility and the autonomy to make split-second decisions in incredibly high-stakes situations. Does this sound familiar? Well it should this is the current environment for corporate, political, nonprofit, and educational leadership! In LEADING HIGH PERFORMERS, Snow develops his experience on the court into a formula to help corporate and organizational leaders understand how to get their high performers, MVP’s, and top new recruits to perform better and follow their leadership. Because like basketball players today’s organization leaders must be “fast, fluid, and flexible” to be successful, these new times, demand new leaders. Throughout the book, Snow examines the most crucial aspects of leadership development, including: The secrets of self-confidence The keys to powerful communication Tips for managing conflict And… Methods of obtaining peak performance from yourself and those around you Snow also frequently breaks away from his own lessons to bring readers the thoughts on leadership of some of the high-profile coaches and teammates throughout his college and pro careers, including Larry Brown, LeBron James, Tom Izzo, Allen Iverson, Nate McMillan and Jud Heathcote. Snow understands what it is like to be the new guy on the team, thrust into leadership the first day on the job and charged with leading legends of the game. It’s not as simple as pointing in the right direction and expecting everyone to follow with a high-five and no ulterior motives. High performers have high expectations, high skill levels and high egos that must be catered to rather than ignored. It can be a job within a job leading these rock stars to winning results and woe to those who are unprepared.Trade Review “I have known Eric Snow for over 14 years. He was a great leader both on and off the basketball court and has proven those skills have transferred to life after basketball. I call this book Shaq-tastic and you will too!” - Shaquille O’Neal, 3 Time NBA Finals MVP "The leadership model that Eric Snow represents is vital – not only to sports leadership, but to family leadership and to teaching in schools; it’s key to managing a sales or manufacturing force, and it’s one of the magic ingredients that has been necessary throughout world history to affect social change and create social victories.” - Ambassador Andrew Young

Carolina Wren Press Witness to Change
Book SynopsisFrom her unique vantage point in New Orleans, Sybil Haydel Morial's life spans one of the most critical periods in our country's history. In this remarkable memoir, Morial chronicles her life as both witness to and catalyst for sweeping changesdesegregation, the end of Jim Crow, and the fight for voting rights. These changes transformed the nation during her lifetime. Morial's story is welcome inspiration for the struggle for political empowerment that continues.As Ambassador Andrew Young, a childhood friend and later Sybil's prom date, relates in his foreword: It is doubtful that New Orleans could have produced two mayors with the dynamic, creative, and visionary leadership of ''Dutch'' and Marc Morial without a wife and mother of Sybil's loving strength, intelligence, and moral courage. But the life she lived in the crucible times and her perception of the civil rights movement in New Orleans goes far beyond that.Trade Review“Teacher, civil rights leader, former first lady of New Orleans, Sybil Morial has given us in Witness to Change an elegantly written, deeply moving memoir of one of America’s most beloved political families. Reading it is a history lesson in the revolutionary changes that a single generation of brave, publicly minded servants delivered for the uplift of all. It is, in short, a book about heroes, written by one.” —Henry Louis Gates. "A moving memoir recounts decades of profound change….In calm, measured prose, Morial offers a singular perspective on the frustrating road to social justice." —Kirkus Reviews. “… a poignant story about family, race, dignity, and love.” —Walter Isaacson.
